Tug Of War

In a match of 2 years vs. the unknown,
Who will win?
The heat of a new breath
Or the back of your hand?
Familiar hymns or
A thrilling scat?
Maybe words should be eaten
And swallowed for the best,
Once it's gone it's seldom regained
And the eyes that have it
Will leave it at the cafe
Where you first smiled without
Moving your lips.
And you will still
be left lonely on
the dirt road that has captured
Your heart.
